Windows 2000 is too old to have this. But XP does have a credential manager.

Click Start, and then click Control Panel.

In Control Panel, click User Accounts under Pick a category to open the User Accounts dialog box.

Open the Stored User Names and Passwords dialog box; to do so, use the appropriate method:

If you log on with an account with administrative privileges: Under or pick an account to change, click your user account to open the What do you want to change about your account? dialog box. Under Related Tasks, click the Manage my network passwords.

Otherwise: Under Related Tasks, click Manage my network passwords.
